·        Convention: I’m repeating some things; please bear with me.  The Council is planning to hold the Convention this year from Thursday, June 3 through Sunday, June 6^th, at the Castle in the Sand Hotel.  I hope as many as possible can attend this year for the camaraderie that we’ve missed for so long.  The price is $60 per person and includes food and beverage packages Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and a souvenir package.  All registrations should be turned into me at the April meeting, along with your check made out to Ravens Roost #44.  Our Roost will have the same hospitality suite and we will work hard to make the convention as pleasant as possible.

 

From what I am reading, t-shirts will be available at the Convention.  I have no order forms for any of them.

 

So far, the activities that are scheduled are:  Lip Sync Battles—held on Thursday night, 2 groups only 2 songs, per Roost; the Convention Quest (scavenger hunt) Friday morning at the Castle; Bingo, Friday at 1 p.m., Karaoke, Friday evening; Corn Hole—bring your own bags, and teams are responsible for cleaning the boards after their game—Friday and Saturday at the Castle., up to 3 teams per Roost with 2 members per team.  Horseshoes—2-member teams, Friday and Saturday at the Castle.  Laser Tag will be held at Game World on 146^th St., from 12-2 and 4-6, on Friday.  Miniature golf will be held Friday at 8:00 a.m. at Nick’s Golf on 45^th St.  We can have two teams of 2 participating this year.  If you’re interested in any of these activities, you need to register for them by our May meeting, so please get in touch with me.  

 

I’ll be happy to provide you with the particulars when you register.  There is a registration form available from Frank.  You can print it out and mail it to me at 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD 21842, (along with your check made out to Ravens Roost 44) or hand it to me at the April meeting.  Please have your check ready to accompany your registration.  As always, if you have any questions, please call me at 410-251-4360.

 

Thanks, everyone.  Let’s really try to make this the best one ever.

 

Happy St. Pat’s Day!

Local Poop

·         

 

Funny Poop

·        A motorist, driving by a Texas ranch, hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road.  The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened.  He then asked what the animal was worth.
"Oh, about $200 today," said the rancher.  "But in six years it would have been worth $900.  So $900 is what I'm out."
The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer.
"Here," he said, "is the check for $900.  It's postdated six years from now."

 

Etcetera

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ravens dark wings take flight

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory
